Animals and Pets

The following information is designed to help guide pet ownership in Oro Valley, as well as provide resources for reporting wild animals, locating shelters, or answering any other questions residents may have regarding their pets and other animals.

Dog Licenses
Dog licenses are required annually and can be obtained at Pima Animal Care Center, (520)243-5900. Rabies vaccinations are required for dogs before licensing.

Dog Leash Law
Oro Valley's leash law requires a dog to be confined within the owner's property unless the animal is on a leash six feet or shorter, with a person on the other end. Tethering your pet is not permitted in Oro Valley.

Heat & Your Pets
Pets need a period of adjustment to this climate. Always make sure your pet has an adequate supply of fresh water and shade when left outside. Never leave your pet in a parked car. The outside temperature, coupled with the car temperature, can reach levels of heat capable of killing your pet within minutes.
